Lens travels to Le Havre to open the 9th day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected lineup for the Sang et Or.
After finding its cruising speed before the break, the Racing Club de Lens will try to confirm its revival on the Le Havre pitch this Friday. “ It’s a team that has worked well with its coach, with the staff, with the club since last year, warned Franck Haise. A team which was very impressive and very solid throughout its Ligue 2 season. Which is off to a good start, even if it has just had two more difficult matches but also against very valuable opponents (Lille and Marseille, editor’s note). »
The RC Lens coach doesn’t think he’s saying it so well: the Sang et Or will have to face several obstacles to avoid falling into the Norman trap. The prospect of playing an important Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven 4 days later could be on people’s minds. Lens will also be deprived of its striker Elye Wahi, injured with the Espoirs this week.
It is therefore with a remodeled eleven that Franck Haise will approach this match. “Each time, I made choices over series of three matches by changing three-four-five players. I will do the same thing for the series of three matches which are coming because for those who are international and who, in addition, have the sequence of matches, we obviously have to manage and dose them. Even doing this, there is always a risk involved. And I can take the example of Macha who will, I think, stay off to prepare for PSV and Nantes. »
It remains to be seen in what proportions Franck Haise will rotate his workforce. Wesley Saïd is expected to replace Elye Wahi, while other executives like Brice Samba or Florian Sotoca are expected.
The expected composition of Lens : Samba – Gradit, Danso, Medina – Aguilar, Abdul Samed, Diouf, Frankowski – Sotoca, Saïd, Fulgini.
